Heat pump & mini-split wiring

Getting a new heating and cooling system? LABAW Electric handles the electrical portion, from the circuit at your panel to the equipment connection. Serving Mountlake Terrace, Edmonds, Lynnwood and nearby communities.

POWER FOR YOUR NEW SYSTEM

The electrical side of your HVAC project

Your HVAC installer selects and installs the heating and cooling equipment. We provide the electrical work needed to connect it, coordinated around the selected system and its location.

New equipment circuits

Plan and install the circuit for your heat pump or ductless mini-split, using the selected equipment's electrical requirements.

Disconnects & connections

Install the electrical disconnect and connection work included in the project, with access and equipment placement considered early.

Existing circuit review

Replacing an older system? We review the existing electrical setup before deciding what can remain and what needs to change.

Panel capacity

Check the home's existing loads and equipment requirements. If additional electrical work is needed, we explain it before installation.

COORDINATE BEFORE INSTALLATION DAY

Work with your HVAC installer

Once you have a system selected, send us the model information and proposed equipment locations. Those details help us plan the circuit, wiring route and connection points.

We can coordinate the electrical scope with your HVAC contractor so each part of the job fits the installation schedule. Share their proposal or contact details when you reach out.

For a replacement system, photos of the existing unit, disconnect and electrical panel are a useful starting point.

WHAT HELPS US PREPARE AN ESTIMATE

A few details make planning easier

Equipment information

The model numbers and electrical specifications for the selected outdoor and indoor equipment.

Photos & locations

Your electrical panel, the planned unit location and any existing circuit or disconnect.

Installation timing

Your HVAC contractor's schedule and whether this is a new installation or a system replacement.

FOR HVAC INSTALLERS

LABAW Electric works directly with HVAC installers to bring the equipment installation and electrical work together. Let's coordinate the circuit requirements, equipment locations and schedule so your customer's project comes together smoothly.

Have a heat pump or mini-split installation coming up? Contact us directly to discuss the electrical scope. Send the equipment specifications and proposed installation date, and we'll work with you to plan the connection.

HEAT PUMP WIRING QUESTIONS

Before your system goes in

Do you install the heat pump itself?

Our service covers the electrical portion. Your HVAC contractor handles equipment selection, placement, refrigerant work and system commissioning. We coordinate the electrical connection with their installation.

Will I need a panel or service upgrade?

That depends on the selected system and your home's electrical capacity. We evaluate the loads and existing equipment before recommending additional work.

Can the new system use my existing circuit?

We review the existing wiring and circuit equipment against the new system's requirements. A replacement unit does not automatically mean the existing circuit can be reused.

When should I contact you?

As soon as you have the equipment information and proposed locations. Planning the electrical work before installation day gives time to resolve wiring access, scope and scheduling.

What affects the electrical installation cost?

Equipment requirements, distance from the panel, wiring access and changes to the existing electrical system all affect the estimate. We define the electrical scope separately from the HVAC equipment installation.

Have your heat pump picked out?

Send the equipment details and let’s plan its electrical connection.
